Glory to the ancestors

Osmanthus fragrans eyes froze, she looked at Rong Zhen puzzledly, and her upper body stepped back slightly.

Of course, such small actions cannot escape Rong Zhen's eyes, he smiled again, and patted the sweet-scented osmanthus on the head, "I'm teasing you," he put his forearm in front of the sweet-scented osmanthus, "give the needle."

Osmanthus osmanthus also smiled and picked up the silver needle.

After the Osmanthus osmanthus injection was finished, Rong Zhen couldn't hold on anymore and passed out.

His eyes were tightly closed, his consciousness had long gone, only his eyelashes were still quivering with his uneasy expression.

Osmanthus osmanthus turned her head sideways, looked at Rong Zhen's face, stretched out her hand to touch the temperature on his forehead, although it disappeared a lot, it was still a little hot.

Osmanthus osmanthus exhaled, stood up straight, felt her legs a little numb, bent over and rubbed them.

Then he pushed open the door and looked outside. There was only a smear of red glow in the sky that the setting sun tried its best to keep.

He thought for a while, then closed the door again, took off his coat, hung it on the screen, walked to the bed, and lifted a corner of Rong Zhen's quilt.

Rong Zhen's bed was big enough to sleep two people.

……

When Rong Zhen woke up, Osmanthus was touching his forehead, he smiled at Osmanthus, "I feel like I'm much better."

Osmanthus osmanthus also nodded happily at him, and gestured, "Yes, the fever is gone."

"Really?" Rong Zhen blinked, "I really slept really well last night, I had no dreams all night, I haven't been like this for a long time."

"That's good." Mu Xi Chaorong really gave a thumbs up, "Then do you still have to go to court today?"

Rong Zhen patted his forehead, "I forgot about this matter, please help me change my clothes."

He propped himself up with one hand and sat up. He got up a little bit more violently and felt a little dizzy. He slowed down and opened his eyes again. He saw a long hair beside the pillow, which was thin and soft. It's completely different from your own.

Rong Zhen looked curiously at the sweet-scented osmanthus who was choosing clothes for himself in the distance in front of the closet. His hair was tied up.

Before she could think about it, Osmanthus osmanthus had already walked over with Rong Zhen's clothes in her hands.

Rong Zhen twisted his neck and stood up, "Today must be another tough battle."

Osmanthus looked at him curiously.

Rong Zhen shook his head and said nothing more.

He left all this strength to his mentor, Master Yang.

"Why did he just hand over the pleading paper to me the day before, and die on the street the next day!" Yang Xian pointed at Rong Zhen and said loudly.

Rong Zhen said slowly, "What does this have to do with me?"

"This matter must have nothing to do with you!"

"Master Yang, we have known each other for many years, don't you know how strong I am, I can't even kill a chicken, and I still go to kill people." Rong Zhen sneered, "What's more, he went to your house to sue , you can't even look down on a living person, and you still blame me."

"Of course you won't do it yourself," Yang Xian flicked his sleeves, "Someone will help you."

"My family members were recruited just a few days ago, and someone helped me. Before that, an old subordinate of yours was imprisoned for corruption. Did you also want to help someone take the blame?"

Yang Xian was so angry that he couldn't speak, so he could only turn to the emperor, "Your Majesty, you are clearly aware of the details, but you must make decisions for the victims!"

The little emperor was dizzy from the debate between the two, and said, "Isn't this case already submitted to the Ministry of Criminal Justice? We can always find out the truth, and when the time comes, we will be able to tell who is clear and who is dirty."

"The emperor clearly observes." Rong Zhen exhaled, and glanced at Yang Xian with some complacency.

All the ministers were accustomed to the quarrel between these two people, and they didn't make any statement. They all waited for the moment when the two of them calmed down and the emperor said to leave the court.

Sure enough, when the peace subsided, the emperor called to retreat.

Rong Zhen watched the little emperor clutching his temples and hurried down from the dragon chair, feeling a little distressed in his heart. He also watched the emperor grow up, so he naturally understood how unhappy he was as the emperor, but the current situation is like this, No amount of sympathy is useless, this is destined to be a world where only the strong can survive.

Just as he was about to stand up from the ground, a young eunuch had already come to him and whispered in his ear, "The Empress Dowager asked Duke Rong to find her after he came down."

Rong Zhen nodded, "I see."

He didn't stop, and followed the little eunuch into the harem.

Yang Xian looked at the two of them from afar, and sighed deeply. Rong Zhen was the disciple he was most proud of. Now that he has fallen to such a level, it is impossible for him not to feel sad.

Rong Zhen entered the Empress Dowager's palace, and knelt down through the bead curtain, "Chen, Rong Zhen, see the Empress Dowager."

"Get up," the Queen Mother raised her hand slightly.

Rong Zhen stood up, through the curtain, he couldn't see the Queen Mother's expression at all, this is a good way to hide his emotions, he thought to himself.

"Yuhan married into your house, how are you doing?"

Minister of the Ministry of Officials is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager, and he has a very close relationship with him. He also loved Jiang Yuzan since he was a child, so he naturally wanted to care a few words.

"I have hired quite a few servants to serve my wife."

"I've heard that," the Queen Mother said with a smile in her voice, "That girl is really wayward, I knew you should find me, so I can borrow some of your capable little girls to serve her."

Rong Zhen rolled his eyes, it's not enough to put one spy in my house, how many more are you planning to come?

"But she does have a deep affection for your brother, and she is willing to..."

"I understand." Rong Zhen arched his hands and bowed to the queen mother, "I also miss my wife's infatuation very much."

"It's good that you understand," the Empress Dowager changed her subject, "I have something else to ask you."

Rongzhen guessed that the next words might be the most important.

"You had a big quarrel with the prime minister in the hall today, so, do you have anything to do with the dead victims?"

Rong Zhen lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt on the ground, "I am loyal to the court and discipline myself, how can I commit such a big crime."

"Then don't you wonder who killed him?"

"Isn't this obvious? It must be someone from the Pingnan Palace," Rong Zhen sighed, "I guess the Prime Minister thinks so too, but he thinks I have a connection with Pingnan Prince, so he suspects me."

"Then do you have any connection with Pingnan Palace?" The queen mother's bead curtain is indeed somewhat effective, and her attitude can't be discerned from her half-smile tone.

"The Empress Dowager understands," Rong Zhen already had the words to deal with it, "as we all know, the Pingnan Palace has bribed more than half of the officials in the court, but there are no ministers."

"How do you know?"

"The minister is not short of money."

"Haha," the Empress Dowager suddenly covered her lips with her sleeve and laughed, "You're right, the money bank of your Rong family is probably not even comparable to the national treasury."

Just escaped a pit, another one came.

Rong Zhen took a deep breath and had to feel that the Queen Mother did have the power to control the world. He leaned down and said, "The money of the Rong family is the money of the country. If the country is in trouble, the Rong family is willing to use all their wealth to benefit the country." .”

"Look at you, I'm just telling a joke, what are you doing so seriously." The Queen Mother said with a smile, "Get up quickly, I came here for no other reason, I have newly researched some pastries in the imperial dining room, you take them back , give the jade hairpin a taste too."

"I know." Rong Zhen stood up from the ground, exhaled the breath he was holding, and today's battle was finally over.

He exchanged a few more words with the Queen Mother, and finally retreated, but he was stopped again after walking a few steps.
